Am bloody cross with self.

That is over 2 weeks, but still.

It's horrifying how little I can eat and still whack weight on, I am visualising myself being on this diet for the rest of my bloody life

I wanna wanna wanna burrrrrrrrgerrrrrrr

fedda · 28/05/2008 21:23

Oh, poor you!

mammyjo · 29/05/2008 08:59

Colditz, I know what you mean. It is so very easy to let things slip a little and the weight just creeps back. I can imagine being a ww member forever too, if I don't keep going then I know I will pile it all back on and more besides! Try not to dwell on it, look at how well you have done, 26lbs is brilliant!

Good luck for today oliviasmama

OLIVIASMAMA · 29/05/2008 13:32

Put 2 lbs on - I stood in the queue sweating, teeth chattering, nervous laughing and even stayed to class to repent of my sins!! Crikey it torments your ife doesn't it! I got away with it lightly, such a fatty this week.

Good luck to everyone else and thanks mammyjo, your good luck wishes worked.

Just looking at these numbers, there's some GREAT numbers on here. Will try really hard to get over the stone figure for next week. Don't want to let the side down.

mammyjo · 30/05/2008 09:34

Definitely better than you expected then!

fedda · 30/05/2008 14:36

We still have time before the real Summer kiks off, girls

OLIVIASMAMA · 31/05/2008 01:58

A lot better than expected mammyjo, scraped through it.

Just got in from friends house, we've been for dinner, home made curry, delicious puddings, lots of wine so I made sure I was the driver and had a small glass of red and a morsel to eat and no pud. Left DH there overnight with DD, everyone's hammered and I've come home to let the dog out! Wide awake after gallons of coffee, hence this post at this time and feeling as though I've totally missed out. Oh to be thin!

mammyjo · 03/06/2008 09:43

Hi all. I weighed last night and have lost another 1.5lbs so I am happy
Hope everyone is doing ok, this thread seems to have gone quiet of late.

Good for you mammyjo - that takes you over the 2 stone mark, what an achievement

I don't know where everyone else is, I'll be back on Thursday after WW meeting.

fedda · 03/06/2008 17:47

I'm trying to be more sensible eating plenty of fruit and veg and avoiding junk food as mush as pos.

VeniVidiVickiQV · 03/06/2008 18:49

Yes...i've fallen off the wagon somewhat

I've not gained though, but I certainly havent lost any. Which is utterly surprising considering what I've been eating.

I'm going to start up properly again as of tomorrow. I've not eaten badly today, but I havent bothered counting and dont see the point in logging my points online half way through the day because you dont get a true reflection.

So, I have this thread on my 'threads i'm on' list again, and hopefully I'll start making headway again.

mammyjo · 03/06/2008 19:26

Welcome back! It's fab that you haven't actually gained any weight, onward and upward!!

loler · 03/06/2008 21:19

Snap VVVQV!
Put weight on and have gone for lots of walks over half term and managed to get back to what I was before. Will definately keep trying and putting thread back on 'threads i'm on' list might help! Found that I can't bring myself to write on here and +lbs!

Ags good luck with that .5lb this week. 4 st is amazing!

Similar story - my weight went up but I managed to get it back to where it was before, I wonder for how long. I had grated carrot for breakfast and vegie soup for lunch. Must think hard about dinner though as DH wants chicken Kiev.

bananaknickers · 04/06/2008 22:46

Another 2.5 lb off for me It's taking ages though. I had a wobble last week , but am back on track again

Well done everyone - look at Ag go, FANTASTIC!

Off camping this weekend which just screams booze and bbq's, as the WW leader stated in her psalm this morning; "everything in moderation" (!!)

fedda · 06/06/2008 16:57

Good stories! Please, keep posting.

Ags · 10/06/2008 14:05

Hi everyone. Just had Mum and Dad over for 2 weeks so have not managed to put finger to keyboard for the whole time.

I am on a go slow at the moment. My last 3 weeks have been stayed the same, lost 1.5 lbs, lost 1 lb. I may need to do the weight watchers kick start to get things moving a bit more. But I really am not complaining, the first 4 stone was quite quick and I am very happy at the moment embracing new clothes shops. Haven't actually bought anything yet, just keep popping into places just to fit things on! I think I might be banned soon! As long as the scales keep moving down I will be happy.

Welldone Ags!

loler · 11/06/2008 11:35

Ags - I'll say it again - you are amazing! Keep going! How much more do you want to lose? What does the 'Kick start' involve?

I was thinking about putting my target weight on the list to use as a prompt for myself. My next target is 10lb off, will be a BMI of 26 - officially will no longer over weight. First time for about 15 years.

Gone very quiet on here? Does that mean that everyone else is busy/given up/reached their target?

I am still going. I am going to a wedding at the weekend and wanted to loose my first stone. I have managed it . Now want to loose my 10% which is only another 2.5 lbs.

I need another target to aim for, so will get thinking.

Loler, well done - only 10lbs to go to 'normal'! That is brilliant. I still have about 5 stone to go! A long haul. I think this thread may die before I reach it going by how slow it has been recently!

Banana, that is fab! It is so exciting to be hitting those goals. Best start thinking of an exciting new one now!

Thanks fedda, how you going?
